This is one solid base Keith is working from. It's not perfect, but there's nothing terribly wrong with it, either.
Definitely a work in progress. A California blue-plate 1972 GT in black. Right now it’s getting sorted. Wheels that don’t hit the body, the right rear spring shackles, brakes that don’t leak - little stuff like that. Then it will have a big rumble implanted.

KeithIt's going to get one.
RupunzellAdd a V8, yes the factory did it, but is the rest of the chassis performance really up this?

All of the drivetrain components are being changed. So while it will have plenty of straight line performance, it's also going to outperform a stock MG in the handling department.
BaxterKeith, when are we getting an update?
OSCNBMC/British Leyland used the GM/Rover 3.5 aluminum V8 which weighed less than the 1800 cast iron 4 . . . . . . . :-)
